House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions has rebuked Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz for voting on behalf of Florida Republican Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart.

On Tuesday, Wasserman Schultz was in the speaker's lobby next to the House floor while her home-state colleague was caught up in an interview nearby with a reporter just before a roll-call vote, according to The Hill.

"Deb, are you going in?" Diaz-Balart asked before handing her his voting card, The Hill said. "Can you…" he said, his voice trailing off as he handed her the card.

The GOP lawmakers that the Club ranked below Matheson and McIntyre are: Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida (38 percent), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida (37 percent), Michael Grimm of New York (37 percent) and Chris Gibson of New York (37 percent). Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.) tied the two conservative Democrats at 40 percent.

What is the Club? The Club for Growth?

I am surprised Diaz and Ros are that low.

I mean, I knew they were partial RINOs, but not that bad.

And they pretend to want the USA to stand up to Cuba?

I understand why they want to have someone run in and vote for them...but they should still take a minute and do it.

I mean, what is that all about—they were ELECTED to vote on the issues, right?

Voting “on behalf of” someone else...that’s the Democrat way...

[Bullish]

He’s probably too busy meeting with lobbyists to be bothered voting. He wouldn’t want to miss out on any under the table money would he? That he’s buddies with Whatsername Schultz is also quite telling.

DRAIN THIS SWAMP!

My family is wondering why I’m screaming for eye wash

[sarasmom]

How much taxpayer money is he getting paid to represent his district?

And for some unknown reason he decides it's much more important to talk to a media reporter rather than to do his actual job?

Miami Rep.
Not exactly a place known for public officials having integrity, or for voters caring whether they do or don't.

It bugged me, so I searched.

It might be a better idea to “draft” our representatives, and “elect” our military members....

Mario is male, so either zot your post for your nasty anti-female curse word, or I will.
Your choice.

OK Genius, thanks for pointing out to me that my US Representative (whom I have met) is a male.

In other words, I meant what I said about him.

Since you are so incredibly self righteous and upstanding, I’ll assume that your name missing from the monthly donor list is some kind of mistake.
